Cleaning and Maintenance
16
General
Clean the range regularly. A clean range looks better, will last longer and will perform better.
Carbonised grease on the surface or between the trivets, griddle plates will hinder the transfer of
heat from the cooking surface to the food. This will result in loss of cooking efficiency.
NOTE: Each griddle option can be supplied with a scraper tool and a pack of blades for cleaning
the griddle surface. These are not supplied with the griddle and have to be purchased
separately. Refer to the 'Replacement Parts List' at the rear of this manual.
DO NOT use water on the trivets, burners and griddle plates while these items are still
hot as warping and cracking may occur. Allow these items to cool down and then
remove for cleaning
. The entire trivets, griddle plates and burner caps can be removed for
cleaning.
NOTE:
•
DO NOT use abrasive detergents, strong solvents or caustic detergents as they could
corrode or damage the range.
•
In order to prevent the forming of rust on the trivets, griddle plates (If fitted) and burners,
ensure that any detergent or cleaning material has been completely removed after each
cleaning. The appliance should be switched on briefly to ensure that the griddle plates
become dry. Oil or grease should be spread over the griddle surface in order to form a thin
protective greasy film.
To keep your range clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow the procedures shown below:-
After Each Use
1.
Clean the griddle with a scraper tool to remove any food debris.
2.
Always ensure that the scraper tool blades are changed regularly to ensure that the scraper tool
works efficiently and prevents damage to the griddle plate surface.
3.
Clean the range castings with a stiff nylon brush or a flexible spatula to remove any food debris.
